Alabama pro-lifers have been actively praying and witnessing at the building site of a new Birmingham Planned Parenthood facility over the course of the past year. Now, it looks like their efforts may have been successful at keeping that Planned Parenthood from opening.<\/p>\n

Students for Life of America recently sent out a press release<\/a> in which it praised many of its student activists for their role in delaying the opening of the new state-of-the-art facility<\/a>. \u201cNumerous pro-life students have volunteered their time and energy to stop the new abortion facility from opening up in their community. They have been actively involved in praying outside the construction site, speaking at city council meetings, reaching out to construction workers, and petitioning on campus,” said\u00a0Katie Lodjic,\u00a0the National Field Director for Students for Life Action.<\/p>\n

The SFLA students joined with others in the pro-life community to work hard throughout 2019, praying and holding vigil outside of the construction site. The groups also took a proactive approach, contacting local construction companies that might have a role in building the new facility.<\/p>\n
